I’m an American and luckily I work for a company that does the same thing. We “shut down” during that time. They even give 4 weeks of PTO a year starting off. This is no where near the norm.
Oh for sure. It was more the 2-3 weeks off at summer that I was envious of. Although I know lots of people still have to work as well, so I can’t complain too much.
Come work on IT projects in government. There’s a contractor stand-down period for like 3 weeks over Christmas so even if you work there’s almost no one around (yes the government said they would cut down on use of contractors, they said a lot of things).

Sounds like the semiconductor industry. The pay is good, but they will try to destroy your soul during those 11 months.
Haha here the legal minimum is 4 weeks plus 12 more paid public holidays on top.
Yeah. I know nearly every where else has it so much better. If I felt like I had the ability to immigrate, I probably would.

You might not get the public holidays at the same as others but you’re still entitled to them taken in lieu!

The work has to be done whether it’s officially on the books or not.
I would consider it if I had the skills, but I don’t
That is sweet.
